Abstract
A safe and reliable protection system in distribution networks, specifically, those hosting distribution generation units, needs a robust over-current protection scheme. To avoid unintentional DG disconnection during fault conditions, a protection system should operate quickly and selectively. Therefore, to achieve this aim, satisfying coordination constraints are important for any protection scheme in distribution networks; these pose a challenging task in interconnected and large-scale networks. In this paper, a new coordination strategy, based on the same non-standard time-current curve for all relays, in order to find optimal coordination of directional over-current relays, is proposed. The main aim is to reduce violations, especially miscoordination between pair relays. Besides this, the overall time of operation of relays during primary and backup operations should be minimized concurrently. This work is being tackled based on genetic algorithms and motivated by the heuristic algorithm. For the numerical analysis, to show the superiority of this coordination strategy, the IEEE 30-bus test system, with a mesh structure and supplemented with distributed generation, is put under extensive simulations, and the obtained results are discussed in depth.
